Walls Are Overrated: The Sliding Kitchen-Living Room

The days of one function per room are over. The trends of space-efficient living have been accepted into larger homes, with design firms such as Italian Florida creating thoughtful environments such as this one: the sliding kitchen-living room. The tall storage cubby serves as a separator and the table can slide either direction, so you have more space for working during the day and more space for cooking come hunger-time.

Interior designers everywhere are catching on to the idea, and Centrala's Jakub Szczęsny has translated the trend into this cosy kitchenette layout for kid's rooms.
